how do fungi reproduce
Asexually when conditions are favorable ( I think its budding) sexually (via two different...... shoot..... what is their tentacles called..... it states with a H)
hyphae! ....LOL So in sexually reproduction........ they form a zygote. I forgot the details about it. Something like they immediately undergoes meiosis. blah blah.
asexually, budding sexually, fusion to form stalk spores
brock biology of microorganisms medical microbiology, rosenthal etal
Forgot to add .....In sexually reproduction..... The two hyphae are from TWO different fungi and conditions are not favorable. So by genetic variation, hopefully, they other set of chromosomes has the "favorable" genes to strive in those harsh conditions.
Fungi can exist either in a unicellular form (yeast) that can replicate asexually or in a filamentous form (mold) that can replicate asexually and sexually. Most fungi exist as either yeasts or molds; however, some fungi can assume either morphology. These are known as dimorphic fungi and include such organisms as Histoplasma, Blastomyces, and Coccidioides
